US Presidential hopeful Kamala Harris is using her voter demographic “politically exploit” Donald Trump by focussing her campaign on female-led issues, it has been claimed.
Following her successful run at the Democratic National Convention, the current Vice President has based many of her policy talking points on issues affecting American women, such as abortion rights.
Harris has claimed she would “put into law the protections of Roe v Wade” and that women should “not have their Government telling them what to do”, adding that she “trusts women” to “make decisions about their own bodies”.
Discussing the Harris campaign on GB News, Deputy Political Editor and Columnist at the Mail on Sunday Anna Mikhailova claimed that her convention had the “glitz and glamour and Hollywood”, but overall it “lacked substance”.

Mikhailova said: “She has run a very good campaign so far. She’s put she hasn’t put a foot wrong in terms of delivering her message.
“But the problem with it all is it’s a lot of energy, it’s a lot of glitz and glamour and Hollywood, but where’s the substance?”
In further defence of Harris’ election campaign, Mikhailova claimed the Democratic candidate has “not put a foot wrong” and her “digital game is very strong” in trying to appeal to the younger voters.
Offering his verdict on Kamala Harris, Chief Political Correspondent at The Times Aubrey Allegretti claimed her campaign is “governed by vibes and values” as opposed to the Democratic policy.

Allegretti said: “Where she is drawing a fine line is that she doesn’t seem to want to under-promise and over deliver.

“She came up with the tax credits policy for people who are going to buy their first house. But apart from that this is very much a campaign governed by vibes and values”.
When asked by host Andrew Doyle if Harris’s bid to appeal to younger and female voters will “resonate with voters at the polls”, Mikhailova claimed voters will not be basing their support on whether “someone has had a good social media campaign”.
Mikhailova told GB News: “When it comes to the polling booth, it will depend on what issues the people will be voting on.
“I don’t think her talking about being a woman in this campaign is just an identity politics card, I actually think it’s quite politically astute.”

She continued: “Half of the electorate are women, and a lot of them are worried about things like rowing back Roe v Wade, actual policies that the Republicans have brought on and backed.
“Alongside JD Vance’s comments on ‘crazy cat ladies’, these are real things she can politically exploit.”
Andrew said Mikhailova’s point was “absolutely true”, but partly disagreed, arguing that many female voters may also “resent having to vote for someone just because they are a woman.”
